The gentlest of gentle shampoos are preferable for this hair type. For day-to-day opt for a baby shampoo, or a if you want something more luxe, try Daily Cleanse Shampoo by Ted Gibson, renowned stylist to stars such as Anne Hathaway and Angelina Jolie. "It contains five cleansing agents that help to remove buildup and gently cleanse," he says "This allows for the curls to release and prevents the hair from being weighed down."

Meanwhile, a more intense shampoo such as PhytoSpecific Intense Nutrition Shampoo provides extra nourishment, and can be used once or twice a week. Phyto & PhytoSpecific Expert Phyto Universe NYC Ron Williams, favors this shampoo for hair that's been color-treated, relaxed, and says it's popular with his clients since it's "all botanical and made with great ingredients such as macadamia and kukui oils."
